Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 26 POLITICAL POT=PIE It is very generally believed among Eastern Washington politicians that a complete understanding and agreement have been entered into by and between Senator Addison G. Foster and Candidate Sweeny to the extent that if one can not be elected he is to throw his strength to the other. It is also conceded that Foster will have thirty-four (34) votes to his credit to start out with, who will stay by him as long as there is any show of his election, but where those votes will go if his election becomes impossible is the question that is seriously troubling the other candidates. It is further conceded that Charles Sweeny, the Spokane candidate, will have twelve votes from the very outset as a working nucleus, and conservative politicians say there will be at least twenty votes that can be influenced by money as to how they vote for senator, which vote will sooner or later land in Sweeny's box. Now, if there is an understanding between Foster and Sweeny, and if Foster can deliver to Sweeny, when he finds he is not in it, the latter would have a caucus vote of sixty-six (66), two more than he needs. It will be remembered that the official count has increased the Democratic vote in the legislature three, which makes sixty-four a majority of the Republican caucus. If the above theory holds good, it is very evident that the junior United States senator after the next session of our state legislature is history, will be Charles Sweeny of Spokane. * * * Another senatorial rumor is being passed around the state at this writing, which is to the effect that Senator Levi Ankeny has practically decided to use whatever influence he has in the next legislature toward the election of Sam. H. Piles, and, if Piles can not be elected, to turn his vote to John L. Wilson or any other Seattle United States senatorial aspirant that would promise to make good to him when he is up for reelection. Speculation has been rife for some time that Mr. Ankeny was seriously contemplating not being a candidate for re-election, but his friends now say he will be a candidate to succeed himself and that he is against the election of an east side man to succeed Senator Foster, and, if it be true that a combine has been entered into between Foster and Sweeny, it will, if successful, mean his undoing, hence he will be forced to hook up with a Seattleite for self-protection. Granted under the Foster-Sweeny combine the former wins out he would do so with the understanding that Foster so shape his appointments as to make Sweeny the strong man to succeed Ankeny. Therefore, if Senator Ankeny turns Senator Foster a single vote, he will be but giving his enemy a club to do him (Ankeny) up when he desires to succeed himself. If Ankeny delivers to Piles or to King county, Sam Piles will break in the caucus with some thirty-three (33) votes, as it is estimated Senator Ankeny will have not less than six votes in the coming legislature. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1904 The Foster-Sweeny combine talk is based very largely on the fact that United States Marshal C. B. Hopkins, a Foster appointee, is working like a Die Nailer for Sweeny and Foster, is not itnerposing a single objection. Opponents to the supposed combine say Foster has the power to have Hopkins removed almost instantly if he so desired, and this he would do if an understanding had not been reached by those most interested. There is certainly no doubt of the fact that Hopkins is handling Sweeny's campaign with an activity that threatens to bring conformation to the other aspirants unless they work and work fast. * * * The Pie-maker had a brief mention about the Hon. Thomas Burke in connection with the United States senatorship from this state in the last issue of The Republican, and it is perfectly wonderful the number of times it has been mentioned by leading Republicans as well as Democrats, not only in Seattle, but in other sections of the state. Expressions like this have been heard a great many times during the past week: "The Republican hit the keynote in the mention of Judge Burke for the senatorship. He certainly would make an ideal senator and be able to measure arms with any man in that august assembly from the very start. It's too bad the King county Republicans do not put him to the front." King county might put the Judge to the front if it was assured that he could command a respectable following from the outside counties. Everybody acquainted with him knows him to be a very able and scholarly gentleman, and one of the most logical as well as profound orators in the state, and would like to honor him for that very reason, but can he deliver to King county, is the question of the hour, and if he can not, it would be worse than useless to put him forward. * * * Governor-elect Mead, in whose honor the banquet was given last Friday evening, says he will not interfere in the senatorial contest, which is a very wise course to persue on the part of any governor, for, as a rule, governors make very poor fists at electing United States senators. Governor John H. McGraw, it will be remembered, tried to elect the Hon. John B. Allen and most signally failed, though he came within three votes of doing so. Governor Rogers, however, followed Governor McGraw and did succeed in electing George Turner senator, and that, too, in opposition to his own party. Governor McBride followed after Rogers and attempted to force the election of Harold Preston, and again a governor absolutely failed in forcing the election of a senator of his liking. So, as governors electing senators, it is two up and one down. Governor-elect Mead seems to be more generally popular throughout the state than either of the other governors mentioned in this connection, and he might be able to do more at it than the other two, and, like Governor Rogers, manage to elect his choice to the senate, but even that will depend largely on who his choice is or will be. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS If the farmers of Eastern Washington had their heart set on a railroad commission bill it seems that they will get it, and that, too, with a vengeance. A few days after the election the Post-Intelligencer came openly out for the commission, and then the friends of Charles Sweeny announced that they stood for the commission, and now Sam. H. Piles has announced that he, too, is for the bill, and it is surmised before a fortnight Senator Foster will see the need, too, of adopting such a policy, and the bill will have no enemies in the legislature. The farmers have made a gallant fight for this measure, and whether right or wrong, they are to be congratulated on the prospects of having the bill passed, even if it is passed by men who in the past proclaimed it a deception and a fraud. If the commission bill becomes a law it will at least relieve the railroad companies from putting up thousands of dollars at every legislature to maintain a lobby at Olympia to prevent vicious legislation from being passed. It is claimed that the last legislature cost the railroads of this state over $300,000, which almost set J. D. Farrell wild, but the Tacoma end handled it and made some kind of showing of the money expended, and to prevent an exposure the matter was permitted to drop, but it will not be repeated. * * * In connection with the next school board of the city of Seattle the name of Rev. W. A. Majors has been mentioned, and if he is a candidate for the place he will be supportted very warmly by those citizens who are good and tired of one or two persons meeting together and deciding the personnel of the school board every year. If it's a "thankless job at best," why in the thunder do the same men always want to be serving the public without pay or remuneration, when such persons are the most greedy and avaricious money-makers in every other respect that are to be found in the community? In the opinion of the Pie-maker there is a "nigger" in the wood pile, and there is a well organized school board ring in this city, some of whom, if not all, actually profit from the results of the school board election from year to year. Not by any means, directly, but indirectly, and profit to the extent that it is worth their while to always want to serve the people in this thankless job that so much is said about. Rev. Majors, pastor of the Presbyterian church, is one of the most public spirited preachers in the city, and should he be elected to the position, he would give the district good service, and, best of all, it would jar the present school board ring, who want to control every election despite it being a thankless job. * * * The Seattle Electric Company, who always spends its money in the interest of the "dear people" and for the best interest of those who pay the taxes for the maintenance of the city government, does not favor the voting of the bonds for the completion of the municipal lighting plant, and, having figure it out that it will be a great detriment to the city, has begun to knock the proposition all down the line. Since the Seattle Electric Company has existed in Seattle the people certainly have realized in the fullest extent how much that company has the city's interest at heart and how far out of its way it would go to keep the city from doing a foolish thing, and especially if the Seattle Electric Company is to lose a cent by so doing. If the Electric Company succeeds in defeating the bond issue, it will have taken a club and mauled to death a Seattle necessity, and one that that company attempted years ago to kill when it was in its incipiency. The former method pursued by the company was to openly fight the proposition, but its tactics at this election are to have as little said about it as possible that a spirit of apathy be created and those most interested in the plant will stay away from the polls by neglect and yet their friends will vote late and early against it, and the fatal work will have been accomplished. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the Seattle Electric Company at present is charging more for its lights to the residents for the lighting of their homes than any similar company in any other city in the United States. In order to hoodwink the citizens when it was apparent that bonds would be voted to complete the municipal lighting plant, that company made a great newspaper play of reducing its rate just half of its former price, when in fact so far as the residents are concerned it did not reduce the rate a single cent. For a home to feel any reduction in rates it will have to consume over $7 worth of electricity within a month, and it is only the exception and not the rule that a householder can afford to allow the lighting bill to run up that high in one month. It is a fact that the average householder can both light and heat his home with gas at a less cost than the Seattle Electric Company wants for lighting it, and yet that company makes a bragadocia display in the daily papers of cutting its rate in two. Let every man at all interested in the city of Seattle vote for the bonds now called for, and when the plant is to be increased let them also vote for those bonds for the city lighting plant, which will prove just as good an investment for the city as did the Cedar river water system. Vote the bonds, neighbor. *** A United States senator from the state of Washington in general, but from Seattle in particular, is the unanimous wish of the business and working men of Seattle. The former have already organized with a view of accomplishing their wish, which to them seems so essentially necessary for the financial good of the city, and have elected Hon. Fred C. Harper as their representative and instructed him to form such outside alliances as will give King county the best results in that direction. Samuel H. Piles having already been endorsed by them for the senatorship, it is the duty of Mr. Harper and his associates to do all in their power to have Mr. Piles elected by the next legislature. There seems to be a strong under current among the business men despite their endorsement of Mr. Piles for Seattle to have but one candidate for the senatorship, and that candidate to be one who is able to bring to King county equally as much positive strength as she herself has, for they realize THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the man that cannot do that will be a white elephant in a political battle such as will rage at Olympia over the election of a senator to succeed Addison G. Foster. If, therefore, Mr. Piles does not early in the fight demonstrate his ability to "show Seattle" the disposition of the business men will be to find a man who can and will. They will do this, not that they love Piles less, but Seattle more. Mr. Piles' friends are still hopeful of him getting enough votes by trades and combines to make just such a showing as has been pointed out, in which case he will be in the fight to the ditch. Let Seattle's business men send out conservative representative to thoroughly canvass the situation throughout the state in the interest of no particular candidate, but in the commercial interests of Seattle, and when such representatives have done their work and done it well let them make their report and then let every man, woman and child doing business or employed in Seattle or King county get in and drill like the Old Nick for the man they decide on. For Seattle to go to Olympia riding a "hobby" will be a fatal political mistake that will certainly cost them the senatorship just as it did in 1899. Every King county member of the legislature realizes now that an awful blunder was committed by them at that time as to the election of a senator and all because they insisted on sticking to their hobby. The twenty-four Republican members of the legislature from King county completed its organization last Saturday, and that having been accomplished it at once proceeded to business, and among other things it endorsed Samuel H. Piles for United States senator and Charles S. Gleason for speaker of the next house of representatives. The two positions in a senatorial contest are boon companions and the senatorial aspirant that can succeed in having one of his right hand men named as speaker it's a great victory for him in the very outset. Aside from the strength Mr. Piles will be able to deliver to Mr. Gleason he, too, has considerable strength throughout the state, which will not forsake him under the circumstances. Owing to the fact there are so many pronounced senatorial aspirants it is more than likely that the various aspirants will unite on a man that is not unduly friendly to any of the senatorial aspirants, Mr. Gleason, however, would make a splendid presiding officer. \* \* \* Speaking about King county's outside strength reminds the Pie-maker about the Mead banquet given by the Young Men's Republican Club, to which a score or more prominent Republicans from different sections of the state were invited and, strange to say, not a single one was present to respond to the toast which had been assigned to him. There was a genuine outpouring of local Republicans and an old-fashion political love feast was the result, but why did not the other fellows come? Where was Senator Ankeny, that great warm friend of Seattle? Where were those ardent railroad men who had always gotten Seattle's votes for their measures? Is it possible that Seattle and King county are disliked all over the state, and especially among the political lead- FRIDAY, NOV. 25, 1904. ers? Tell me, tell me truly, I implore thee; what's the matter with Seattle? * * * "Hello Frank! How do you do, old socks?" said a rather young looking man not long since as he smilingly as well as joyfully poked out his paw to Frank McDermott, general manager of Seattle's great department store, the Bon Marche. As the two men warmly greeted each other, for the one had been away from Seattle for a good long time, during which time Seattle had undergone wonderful changes, the former Seattleite, who by the way was a printer and had acquired the tramp habit, and it was in a print shop he first got acquainted with Frank McDermott, was looking rather seedy and seeing how scrumptious his friend was looking, quickly inquired of him was he clerking instead of printing. "Well, yes;" amusingly came from him, my wife and I own this store, and I am in a way clerking. The printer's "feathers fell" and he soon found excuse to leave the store. As he was passing out he remarked to the editor hereof, "Don't it beat the devil how some men seem to stumble on to the best there is in the land? Why, it has not been over five years since Frank McDermott was working in my print shop on Yesler Way and both of us were jumping sideways for enough money to feed our faces three times a day, and now he is at the head of a million dollar concern, and I—well, I am a tramp printer, with not enough dough to get to the next big town. A square deal in this world? Oh—a square meal sounds a great deal better." "I am of the opinion that all of the trouble with the city's lighting plant has been overcome and some time in December this municipality will be doing the lighting act of her streets under her own vine and fig tree. Poles and wires will be erected and strung as rapidly as it can be done in order to waste no time in beginning operations. As has been said, only a limited amount of power will be turned on, but quite a sufficient amount to light the streets as well as they are now lighted. Approximately it requires only a 350-horse power to do all the city's street and office lighting and it will be an easy matter for the new plant to take up that load the very first day. The capacity of the plant will be expanded until it will be able to furnish 3,500 horse power ,or about times more than the municipality is now using. It is my intention to light the streets at least as well again as they now are. If then there be a surplus, the residue should be sold chiefly for commercial purposes at a fair profit, which will go a long ways toward bearing the running expenses of the plant. There will be no cutthroat prices inaugurated by the city plant for there seems a sufficient demand for all the electricity that all of the plants can produce," said City Engineer Thomson one day this week. Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B. HUTCHINSON CO. 1401 Second Ave. and Union St. It can be truthfully said of David Bennett Hill that a force of circumstances has made it possible for him to retire from politics at once and not wait until January next to do so. Judge Alton B. Parker, recent Democratic candidate for president, has abandoned Esopus and moved to Greater New York, where he has opened a law office and begun life all over again. The thirty-eighth annual session of the National Grange convened in Portland, Ore., November 16, for a ten days' term. Once this ortive in national politics and promised to become a great factor, but of late years it seems to have cut the politics out. The "Colorado" is declared to be the fastest armored warship in the United States navy. At its trial trip it made 22:24 knots per hour. Of recent construction and sister ships to the Colorado are the Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, California and West Virginia, which have averaged 22.14 knots per hour. The tangled legal web in Alaska was almost straightened last week, when President Roosevelt at one fell swoop decapitated Judge Mellville C. Brown and United States Marshal Frank H. Richards. There are Alaska folks who believe Judge James Wickersham is deserving of similar treatment, though the president saw fit to reappoint him. The San Jose is said to be the largest fruit steamer ever put afloats. It plies between New York and Costa Rica, and has a capacity sufficient to carry 45,000 bunches of bananas.

Mr. Granby has taken from our city a very estimable young lady—a gain for Vancouver. Mrs. Granby wishes the Republican still sent to her at her new address, 474 Alexandra street, Vancouver, B.

Seattle society should do something to return the compliment by inviting the Tacoma people over who, by the way, have the reputation of being elegant dancers. * * * Long ago when our forefathers had little chance to go to school and learn of higher means of entertainment the young people THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN knew no better than to play nothing but "kissing plays" at parties, but that day has passed. The young woman or young man who goes to a party and makes herself or himself so common as to kiss during the evening every person of the opposite sex in the room ought to be ashamed of it beyond expression. What is the use of learning if we are going to hold on to all of the weaker things? Any old boy or girl can kiss, but for decency's sake even they should retire to some private place to do so. We have learned of higher modes of entertainment and it is our duty to adopt them. * * * The Magazine Club was entertained on last Tuesday evening by Mrs. I. F. Norris. Mr. and Mrs. Norris have decided to give Tuesday evening of each week to the work of this club. As they express themselves, they see in it a great means of enjoyable improvement. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. B. F. Tutt. Take the Madrona Park car. Get off at East Union. The number of the house is 1422 33rd street. At a party given recently the hostess, a very progressive woman, wished to introduce HOTEL WASHINGTON, The Home of the Traveler some new games and had, with that aim in view, purchased some very dainty articles for first prizes and some very comical ones for booby prizes, but her plans came to naught, for when the leading spirits among the young girls arrived they refused to play anything but "kissing play." The young men did not seem half so anxious to do the kissing, for one was heard to say he did not think he would want to kiss any one else for a month. Disgusting, to say the least! * * * The A. M.

New York City department stores say they have lost over $500,000 during the past year from shoplifting, and some people still insist honesty is the best policy. Safe and sane Democracy having fared no better at the polls than damphool Democracy, the latter can now jog on in the even tenor of its way, voting for Andy Jackson and sesh. And now the original Roosevelt man is to the front in the personnel of John A. Rhea of Olympia. Name your job quickly, that the president can get at something else more important. It's up to the commonwealth of this city to explain the difference between Democracy and Independent Democracy. Both of them support the Democratic ticket even with the proverbial yellow dog thereon. The New York Evening Post computes the world's wheat crop for 1904 at 2,960,000,000 bushels, which is 233,556,000 bushels less than in 1903, and 140,181,000 bushels less than in 1902. Reports received at national headquarters up to Saturday morning, November 12, estimate the total Socialist vote cast on Tuesday, November 8, throughout the United States to be at least 500,000. The voting of the proposed bonds for the completion of the municipal lighting plant is being bitterly fought by the Seattle Electric Company. This company's great love for the dear people is without equal. Captain Harry Struve's capture by the Japanese for trying to run their blockade, which is a capital offense, because, if successful, there was a fortune in it for him, again demonstrates the old addage, "Money is the root of all evil." Roosevelt's plurality over Parker will, it is now believed, be about 2,500,000, and perhaps even more. More plurality votes than Parker got, and yet Democracy insisted that Parker was a strong runner, being sound and sane on the financial question. Jumping Jehosephat, suppose he had not have been sound and sane he would not have gotten any votes. The removal of Marshal Richards of Nome is a personal victory for Mrs. Lena Walton, who has been to Washington City to prefer THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and substantiate charges against the official corruption of Marshal Richards, Judge Brown and others, who, she claims, have used their offices for personil gains, and that, too, to the detriment of a great majority of the citizens of that gold mining district. The forming of new national parties is being talked of by the Populist leaders. The principles of the one you now have are pretty good; why not live up to them and give up anything to get an office? Had the Populists not permitted the Democrats to swallow them up they would now be in a flourishing condition. The ciay council and the bar of this county have each passed resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Thomas Jefferson Humes, and at a business men's meeting held in the office of the mayor plans were discussed looking forward to devising means to bring the body from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Seattle as soon as possible. Bluffer Blethen, who publishes the Prognosticator in Seattle, has been arrested for libel. The wonder is that he hasn't been hanged instead. How any sane person can follow Blethen's lying sheet through a campaign and still put reliance in its, passes understanding. Here's hoping that the Bluffer, with his checkered career, will receive his "quietus" in the libel suit.—Island County Times. We believe a great majority of the citizens of Seattle, the state of Washington and the United States in general enjoyed a Thanksgiving last Thursday almost unequaled in the history of the day and the government. It was a glorious day and was gloriously celebrated. Over 4000 persons attended the union services at the Grand Opera House, while many other churches were crowded with devout worshipers. It is estimated that nearly 4000 persons witnessed the football game in Seattle and every public hall was filled to its utmost capacity with merry-makers. Extra efforts were made by persons having work outside of the city to get home to be with their families, and for that reason the trains were crowded all day Wednesday with those coming home as well as with those going back to the old home in the country to spend a few hours with the "old folks down on the farms." Business was generally suspended and for a day the American people were at perfect rest. An editor with a large delinquent subscription list and an unusual number of past due bills for which he is hounded by day and by night, it seems to us is perfectly excusable when under the awful strain he writes of his delinquents as follows: "You may approximate the state in a nail keg, hang the ocean on a grape vine to dry, wipe the nose of a cyclone on a towel, cut off the tail end of a tornado for a keepsake, put the sky in the ground to soak, unbuckle the bellyband of eternity and open the sun and moon as health resorts, but never be deluded with the idea that you can escape the other side of purgatory if you don't pay for your paper."

BERG, Prop. Phone Main 4773 1425 First Ave., Near Pike If you are a subscriber to a paper why not treat it as you do your grocery bill and pay for it when due. The man running a $2 per year paper needs his $2 every year just as badly as the butcher or the grocer. We know of an editor that traveled over 300 miles to collect some subscription bills, and yet some of those indebted to the concern had the audacity to tell him to "call again." A most shocking and revolting case of human depravity was brought to the attention of Prosecuting Attorney Scott one day this week, and after investigating it he caused a warrant to be issued for Albert Schultz, who was subsequently arrested and is now a prisoner in the county jail. Schultz is charged with having criminally assaulted his own 15-year-old daughter and then threatened the lives of his entire family, kho knew the facts, if they made any outcry against him. Mr. Scott is quoted as saving: "In all my years of law practice I have never run across such an outrageous case. It is impossible for me to conceive of a husband and a father being guilty of such a heinous crime." One, after hearing so much of white superiority, would have hardly believed any one other than a Negro could have become so morally depraved as to have committed such a crime, but they could and did. If Schultz does not deserve death for such a beastly act, then a man has never deserved death for crime. --- RUBBER BOOTS and SHOES RUBBER and OIL CLOTHING Ladies' and Misses' RAIN COATS The Rubber Store 714 First Ave. Bet.

Hanasharaki, the Japanese boy who died, bore up until a short time before his death. His exhibition of nerve is said to be one of the greatest ever before witnessed at the hospital. Who knows but he had, joined with the teachings of his boyhood days, a secret of sweet peace, a source of strength gained from meditating upon and cultivating thoughts in the upper zone or spiritual part of man? Who can say but there also lay back of the patience and courage which he exhibited great strength of character obtained we not where, but sustaining and forthcoming at the needed hour? Registration for the school election closed last Tuesday and the woman vote was small to what had been expected. So many ladies were hard expressing regrets on election day that they could not wear that deep look of anxious concern which was so plainly discernible on the faces of the Seattle gentlemen that it was a surprise to find so few had used what rights they did have in the voting line. The manner in which some women registered is quite amusing. "What ward are you in?" asks business-like woman clerk. "I don't know what," comes the quiet response. After answering at some other questions she signs her name in two places. 'You know the oath, I suppose,' says the clerk. "No, what is it?" asks the anxious registerer. It is then repeated to her and she takes it. As she gathers up her skirts, for of course it is raining outside, she smiles sweetly at the clerk and says: "Will you please tell me who are the men to be voted for?" Most likely she will forget to vote when the time comes. This, however, is not the average Seattle woman—just a woman. The Humane Side. Every thoughtful man and woman in Seattle will rejoice to know that the humane officers have started a winter crusade against drivers who fail to take proper care of their animals during the rainy season. The cold weather in Seattle is not a sharp, piercing cold, but a creeping cold, as it were, which seems to go right into one's very bones, and when exposed to it for some length of time the body suffers keenly therefrom. Perhaps when seated in comfortable quarters we are not so likely to think of the dumb beasts who cart our freight and such things around in the rain or the thought, when it does come, that these animals are left for considerable lengths of time standing uncovered in the streets does not appeal to us very much. The companies which own a number of work horses are the ones who seem most thoughtless in this line. The driver is unable to cover the animal if no blanket is furnished him. "Straws tell which way the wind blows," so when we see a man take time to throw a blanket over a horse, place a prop under the tongue of the wagon so as to remove the weight from the horse's neck, or throw a scotch under the wheel when the animal stands with the weight down grade, it invariably strikes us that there is a man much deserving of mercy because he is kind and greatly in sympathy with the dumb, who feel yet lack the power to speak. This week and a part of last brought more rain to Seattle than has fallen in a long time. The man who had been home sick for "back East" had only to use just a wee bit of imagination and he was at home again. The pour and spatter that has been with us was very much like the Eastern ways of seeing it when one has to hunt up dry clothes throughout on reaching home. "Now, if we just had some thunder and a few streaks of lightning," one water-soaked pedestrian was heard to say, as he clung tightly to his umbrella, "We'd think our weather man had swapped places with some Eastern fellow." This is no kick, however, as the peeps of sunshine which followed repaid with the bright thoughts they inspired and moreover gave opportunity to dry a new supply of clothes. Seattle's Hired Help. There is a saying that old servants become friends. Seattle women will gain but few friends from this source, for the average hired girl does not come to stay; she knows it and it shows in her work, and soon she is not allowed to stay. There is a case, recently on record, where a young woman in London had lived in one family for seventeen years and one day while lighting a gas range her dress sleeve caught a fire. She fought it out bravely by herself, not wishing to disturb the family, as the mother was in poor health. She served dinner and when the meal was over fell prostrate on the floor and died soon afterwards. "God only knows the agony I was in," she said to the nurse at the hospital. One can not but admire the self-sacrifice and yet such help seems out here as things dreamt of but never realized. A few reasons for the oft changing help in this city: There are so many who move to this state and on account of the heavy expenses they are put to the women seek domestic labor for a time, "just to help out a bit." There is also a steady influx from the smaller towns in cases where the girls of the family want to make extra pin money or help father while he pays off the mortgage on the farm. As soon as these ends are accomplished the girls leave, for they did not mean to stay very long when they came. Then there is the foreigner, who knows nothing about the American ways of housekeeping and learns at the expense of one-half the dishes and a third of the graniteware, to say nothing of the demand on the general supply of patience in the household, and when she has learned—why she leaves because she can get a dollar raise in her salary, or perhaps the "other woman has no children," and she thinks she would "like the place better." Seattle has some homes, however, where they have competent help who have been with them seven or more years, but these are the exceptions, for this is not a town where servants work through dieing; their employers are glad to get them to work while in good health. A reception is to be tendered Edward S. Curtis in the near future, at which he is to lecture on his work of photographing the American Indian. The lecture will be of much interest, as it will be illustrated with many photographs of the Indians in stereopticon views. Mr. Curtis will give a description of the scope of his work with amusing and instructive incidents of the work among the Indians themselves. This work was taken up by him when no one else thought much of it. He stuck to it and drilled away; first a picture here and picture there until his collection began to grow. He then took more interest in it himself, broadened the work, perfected it, protected it by copyright, and the whole United States became aware that Curtis was authority on photographs of the American Indian. In time the world will know it also, and Seattle is justly proud of the man who looked forward and saw the possibility and worked thereto until success crowned his efforts richly. One great reason why there was hope in the undertaking from the first is the fact that the American Indian is fast becoming a thing of the past; and it is human nature to value that which we have no longer. True we have the Indian with us still, but the historical Indian is giving place to the more modern Indian, and with him goes much of the habits, manners, and therefore personal appearance of the people who were here when Columbus landed, of the people who looked at Columbus and his sailors and thought that they must be visitors from the faraway world which constituted their conception of heaven. How true to the teachings of a lifetime we are, after all. The explosion which happened at the Rainier Club, fatally burning one Japanese and badly burning three other men illustrated this plainly. The Japanese are not an expressive people and have been taught quietness of manner and endurance from mere childhood. The boy who unconsciously caused the explosion, and who died afterwards at the hospital from his burns, suffered untold miseries without uttering a word. The other Japanese who were burned suffered greatly, but showed no evidence of it. On the other hand, the French are a people by nature expressive, warm-hearted and quick of action. The chief cook, Bellogg, is a Frenchman and was burned on the back. He ran screaming through the house yelling "Help!" and "Fire!" and after the flames were smothered, while the Japanese in the meantime was being bandaged, he was roaring with pain. Some smiled when they heard of the difference in the endurance of the two men, but after all it is in times of emergency that the teachings of a lifetime and the characteristics Every husband, father and brother in the West should file their protest against the passage of enabling acts creating new states in the West under certain conditions, which are specifically set forth in the following circular which has been sent out in the interest of the mothers of men. The circular reads: A bill is now pending in Congress which so vitally affects the interests of women in the great Southwest that we believe you and your organization would like to protest against the injustice therein threatened our sisters. The bill proposes to unite Oklahoma and Indian Territories into one State under the name of Oklahoma, and to combine New Mexico and Arizona Territories into a State under the name of Arizona. This measure has passed the FRIDAY. NOV. 25. 1904 Registration Closed. Rain Like Unto the East. The American Indian.

Beveridge is Chairman, and the following named Senators are also members: William P. Dillingham, Knute Nelson, Thomas R. Bard, Henry E. Burnham, John Kean, William B. Bate, Thomas M. Patterson, James F. Clarke and Francis G. Newlands. Now is the time to amend, while the bill is in Committee. The portion of the bill threatening injustice to the women in the proposed new States is found in Paragraphs 5 of Sections 3 and 21, which would allow these States, when organized, to disfranchise minors, criminals, lunatics, non-residents, ignoramuses and women. This part of the bill reads as follows: "Fifth—That said State shall never enact any law restricting or abridging the right of suffrage on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, or on account of any other conditions or qualifications, save and except on account of illiteracy, minority, sex, conviction of felony, mental condition, or residence; provided, however, that any such restrictions shall be made uniform and applicable alike to all citizens." There may be other objections to this part of the bill, that Congress gratuitously interferes to forbid Negro disfranchisement, or disfranchisement "for any other conditions or qualifications," which latter will prevent disfranchisement for lack of United States citizenship, a prohibition never before laid on a State. This wording will be interpreted by some as even prohibiting the future enfranchisement of women in these new States. These paragraphs might well be omitted. But the injustice to women might be averted if only the word "sex" were stricken from the paragraphs. The pioneer women of the West, who have labored and suffered by their husbands' sides to advance civilization, ought not to be so unjustly classed with felons, lunatics and children, while their own husbands, equals in other respects, are enfranchised. The Congress of the United States ought not to set its seal upon the possibility of the perpetual disfranchisement of these women, an unmerited disgrace and punishment. It is true that in many States women have been tacitly ranked with these defective delinquent and dependent classes, but never before has the insult been so open and flagrant, nor has it been in an Act of Congress. The representative of the United States Government, the Territorial Governor of Arizona, once before interfered in Arizona legislation to the defeat of women, by vetoing the woman suffrage bill passed by the Legislature of Arizona. The women of all our great country should now protest against the women of the Southwest being ranked with the classes justly disfranchised, any other member of which may by effort, behavior, or lapse of time, achieve enfranchisement. Will you not ask your organization to write to the two Senators from your own State, to Senator Beveridge, the Chairman of the Committee on Territories, and to the rest of the Committee, asking each to work for the omission of the word "sex" from the two paragraphs quoted above, or for the omission of the entire paragraphs. A few thoughts culled from subjects discussed at the Magazine Club: Money is a very necessary thing, and it behooves us all to accumulate a certain amount of it with as much rapidity as possible, but in the meantime, there are other things which we should not overlook. From a business point of view as well as from a social point it is one's duty to appear well. Our manner of dress should be becoming and pleasing to the eye. Quite in keeping with the approved styles. This may tell upon the contents of the purse, but the shoddy man is not the most successful man. If his clothes are to be taken as an indication of his business then his business is evidently not in a healthy condition. To hold one's self aloof from all societies and all pleasure clubs in order to gain in finance the quicker, is another mistake which the rising young man is quite apt to fall into. There are people in the clubs, these reading circles and associations, who, if they were acquainted with him, knew his worth, might further him in business circles in divers way. While on the social side, the mental and moral contact is inducive to growth, raises one's self esteem and better fits him for life in its broader sense. Some strive to save by wandering off to cheap places to eat their mid-day meal. In the course of time there would be something realized therefrom, but when compared with the gain in other ways did this same person take meals at a place where he would meet and converse with men his equals, and in cases his superiors, he would be the loser thereby. The meals may cost him a little more, the admittance to these associations and dues therefor cause some expense, but the young man is known about the town in which he lives; he is one of the boys and he has a chance to grow. The buttinsky" is a nuisance, but to make a success in life we have to have a certain amount of push. The silent man, waiting to be pulled to the front, is all right, if he is quietly delving away on some one thing, thus fortifying himself so that in time he will be an authority on the same, but otherwise there is much danger of his remaining to the end the silent man. "Silence is said to be golden, but in this case it has the FRIDAY, NOV. 25, 1904 THE MAGAZINE CLUB STEPS TO SUCCESS. appearance of being gold undeveloped. Let the town know that you live in it; let the people know that you can and do think; make the world better that you have had a chance to live in it. A Help Versus a Burden. There are so many people who, if they have any family at all, at once take a back seat. Why do you not strive to improve yourself along some line, a friend may ask O, we hope to give the baby every chance when she grows up. We plan to make her quite accomplished, don't you know. There is time enough for the baby. If you can do nothing else, insure your life, payable to the baby, for in reason you will not live very much longer after the baby has attained the years of maturity. It will have the money then just the same and during the meantime you will have had some chance to make life pleasant for yourself. What accomplishments have we? Why should people wish to invite us to their entertainments? Can we add unto the general enjoyment in any way or are we merely space fillers? These are questions we should ask ourselves. There are many ways in which we can accomplish ourselves if we try. Every one has a talent for something. Some play well, some sing well, some repeat a joke with telling effect; there must be good conversationalists, some possess the art—and art it is—of listening well while others talk. There are many ways of making ourselves desirable guests, and it is our duty to do so. True, this calls for more energy from married people than from the young, for they have their household cares to attend to, and the tendency of married life is to take it easy, giving up those things over which hours of toil used to be spent for improvement. The sad prat of it is there seems to be no standstill places in life, and those who will not go forward must go backwards and the world has too great a supply of young old people already. By All Means Give Thanks. As the Negro looks the field over, noting the things for which to give thanks, there are so many gleams of brightness of a coming day that his eyes show forth their gladness and his heart swells with the greatness of his thanks. First, the American Negro is thankful that he lives in a country where all is endeavor and effort; where the man of nerve and perseverance wins; where competition draws the very best he is capable of out of him, and he has to fight for his place in the field. It will make a man of him. The South is mistreating him, taking from his rights and throwing him on his own resources. He is making and saving money; he is buying and beautifying homes; he is forming corporations for himself and is educating himself. Where will it end? These things he is being forced to do and it is mean and selfish to thus ostracise him, but great and everlasting praise be to the Father that in the order of things he is coming through it all a man, wealthy, educated, refined, worthy—a man! The lessons are most severe, but what race ever amounted to anything which had not difficulties; what person ever amounted to anything who was not in some way tried? Life is not rest. We were not put here to sleep and eat. Our birthright is work, and work should be our motto. Prejudice, on top of the natural adversities of life, to which all men are heirs, make the Negro’s task doubly hard. The effects of it are galling; they are like poisoned bullets, which not only leave the flesh torn and quivering but poison the blood so that at times there seems but little chance of life. But the Negro is gathering strength to meet it, he must face it and he knows it; and there are thanks in his heart that strength is his, and life is his, and that on an unseen indescribable line extending from earth to heaven there come constant messages bidding him hope on hope ever. He is thankful that there is a fraternity of religious belief, and through the power of a common affection the Christian people are growing more thoughtful of his soul. He is thankful that there is a fraternity of secret orders which has a tendency towards protection—small but growing. And he is thankful that there is a fraternity of artistic ideals and the worthy achievements of the race are calling forth praise. These things are not more than they ought to be, but they have not been heretofore, and if the Negro through either meium is given esteem he will the sooner be given a chance, for esteem bgets love and love inspires justice. Every now and then some new indignity is heaped upon the head of the Negro, but right wins in the end always, and although the means form a cruel, heart rending lesson he is learning many things which will strengthen him even beyond the most sanguine expectations. In the meantime, while in the whole big round world some fret, work, win or loose, worrying their poor little heads about this thing or that—we are surely, steadily working out the plans of the great Father of all, to whom let us ever give thanks. : ‘Maker of | Modern 7 Clothes : at : Moderate 3 Prices.” | 1329 2nd Av. , Areade Bik.

JEFFERSON ON THE "RACE Among the Negroes who have attained distinction in this country was Benjamin Banneker, a native of Maryland, who was born in 1731, his father and grandfather being native Africans. He attended a private school in Maryland which admitted several colored children along with whites. While his early educational advantages were scanty, he proved his capacity both for acquiring knowledge and making a practical application of his acquirements. Banneker was the first American to construct a clock to strike the hours. This he did with crude tools and nothing but a watch for a model, having never seen a clock. Through the kindness of a Mr. Elliott, a gentleman of taste and cultivation, Banneker gained access to a fine private library, and among other subjects took up the study of astronomy. Gaining considerable proficiency in this branch of study, Banneker constructed an almanac adapted to the local requirements of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. This was the first almanac constructed in America and was published annually from 1792 to 1806, the year of Banneker's death, by Goddard & Angell of Baltimore. It contained the motions of the sun and moon; the motions, places and aspects of the planets; the rising and setting of the sun, and the rising, setting, southing, place and age of the moon, and was the main dependence of the farmers in the regions covered. Banneker received a comfortable royalty from this publication. Banneker assisted the commissioners in laying out the lines of the District of Columbia. The most interesting fact to be recalled in connection with Banneker's life and services is that Thomas Jefferson regarded him as a man of talents equal to those of white men. The founder of the Democratic party believed in the intellectual capacity of the Negro. In acknowledging the receipt of a copy of Banneker's almanac Thomas Jefferson wrote to its author: "Nobody wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit that nature has given to our black brethren talents equal to those of other colors of men, and that the appearance of a want of them is owing merely to the degraded condition of their existence both in Africa and America. I can add with truth that nobody wishes more ardently to see a good system commenced for raising the condition both of their body and mind to what it ought to be as fast as the imbecility of their present existence and other circumstances which cannot be neglected will admit. I have taken the liberty of sending your almanac to M. de Condorcet, secretary of the Academy of Sciences at Paris, because I considered it a document to which your color had a right for their justification against the doubts which have been entertained of them." The protest of the South against President Roosevelt's recognition of Booker Washington makes this letter of Thomas Jefferson's to Benjamin Bannecker doubly interesting at the present time.-Tacoma Ledger. BOOKER WASHINGTON'S APPEAL. Booker Washington has sent out an appeal for funds to enable him to carry on the work which he is doing at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Already, he has sent out THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 6,000 men and women, a large proportion of whom are now employed by southern white people, at an average daily wage that is nearly three times as great as that paid to the average untrained colored man or woman. At the present time there are 1,243 students enrolled. Booker Washington now appeals to those who are interested in his work for funds (1) to meet the annual cost of the institution, which is $160,000—$90,067 of which must be raised through the gifts of friends; (2) to increase the endowment fund from $1,030,533.28 to at least $3,000,000; and (3) for $65,000—$19,000 of this amount being now at hand—to build a new dining hall. This appeal of Booker Washington will no doubt receive the generous response which it deserves. The genius of this man saw the real need of his race. He knows that what his race needs more than anything else is proper industrial training. And knowing this, he established his school at Tuskegee, Alabama, which has done so much good, and will continue to do good for many years to come. An appeal for funds from Booker Washington is an appeal for a worthy cause, to help a man to develop the latent capacities of his race.—Tacoma News.
